|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">cliff, rock, mountain-peak</b> (mostly ep. poet. Β 396), <b class="b2">watch-tower</b> (pap.), <b class="b3">-ον</b> n. <b class="b2">earth wall, hill</b> (LXX).<br />Derivatives: <b class="b3">σκοπελ-ίζω</b> <b class="b2">to set up a watch-tower</b> with <b class="b3">-ισμός</b> m. (Ulp. in Dig.).<br />Origin: XX [etym. unknown]<br />Etymology: The prob. later meaning <b class="b2">watch-tower</b> originated clearly through the association with <b class="b3">σκοπ-ός</b>, <b class="b3">-ιά</b>, <b class="b3">-έω</b>, but also in the sense of [[clif]], [[rock]] one has since antiquity connected the word with <b class="b3">σκοπός</b>, <b class="b3">-έω</b> and interpreted as "look out", an etymolog, which because of its good achoring in the Greek vocabulary seems to earn preference above the connection with IE <b class="b2">*skep-</b> [[cut]] (Solmsen Wortforsch. 210 f.; cf. [[σκέπαρνος]] [but se s.v.] and <b class="b3">κόπτω</b>). Cf. also Chantraine Form. 244 w. lit. -- An agreeing Illyr. <b class="b2">*skapela-</b> [[cliff]] Krahe PBBeitr. 69, 486 ff. wants to find in the river-name [[Schefflenz]] (OHG [[Scaflenza]] from <b class="b2">*Scapi-lantia</b>); cf. on this Porzig Gliederung 150 f. Lat. LW [loanword] [[scopulus]]. -- An IE root <b class="b2">*skep-</b> [[cut]] seems not to exist. That a word for [[cliff]], [[rock]] developed from <b class="b2">watch-tower</b> may be possible in reality but is linguistically not very probable. | |||
